Last year was a great reading year. I read less than 2016 but I enjoyed my reading time more. I think I was putting pressure on myself to read as much as possible in 2016 and I took it easy in 2017. I was under no pressure at all to read the 154 books I …

This weekend readathon (Werewolf Frenzy) is hosted on My Vampire Book Obsession during the last or 2nd last weekend each month. It's a pretty simple readathon, there are no tasks, you just set a page count goal. It runs from Thursday to Sunday so it's not technically a weekend readathon but close enough. Goal: 400 …

Reading slumps sometimes sneak up on you, don't they? They often happen after finishing a really amazing book or series and you're just not ready to leave that world.
